TEO, a part of TeliaSonera telecommunication group in Lithuania, has earlier launched cloud storage with extremely fast access based on SOSA (Storegate Online Storage Application). Now they have added cloud sharing which enable their TV customers to share and view, videos and pictures through the same service.

When a TEO customer uploads a home video to the Saugykla cloud storage service, he can also share the video with all other TEO TV customers using a unique easy numeric code. When a friend receives the code he can just enter the code via the TV remote control and view the video directly on his own TV screen. The solution was integrated with the SOSA platform using the Storegate API.

TEO has had the Saugykla service for broadband customers, both residential and business customers, since 2012. After this launch also TV users are connected to the service.

– Our domestic cloud storage service with high speed and integrated functionality will be a strong competitor to other cloud services with slow connections and data centers in unknown countries. The customers are being more and more selective when choosing cloud storage services, says Daiva Zilinskaite, Marketing Project Manager at TEO. And we guess this is also a result of the NSA debate.

– TEO has really made a difference on the Lithuanian market with their Saugykla service. They have showed that speed and functionality really matters, says Stefan Ivarsson, Sales Director at Storegate.
